Our Take

The Eufy SoloCam S340 is a dual-lens wireless security camera that sits in Eufy's premium outdoor range—think of it as the middle ground between their budget models and their top-tier setups. It's designed for homeowners who want proper surveillance coverage without needing a complicated hub system or monthly cloud subscriptions. If you're after something that'll actually catch detail of a face or a car number plate from across your garden, rather than just spotting movement, this is worth a look.

What makes this camera stand out is the dual-lens setup: you get a standard wide-angle lens for overall scene coverage, plus a telephoto lens that zooms in without losing clarity. The 2K resolution (2560 × 1920) means you're capturing genuinely useful detail, and the battery will run you several months between charges depending on activity levels—we're talking 4-6 months in typical UK conditions with moderate motion detection. It's got solid night vision with infrared, and the weatherproofing is rated IP67, so it'll handle rain, frost, and the general British garden conditions without flinching. Local storage via microSD card is included in the box, so your footage stays on the camera itself rather than being shipped to the cloud.

Compared to alternatives like the Reolink RLC-510A or Logitech Circle View, the S340 occupies an interesting middle space—it's sharper than basic budget cameras but less fiddly than some pro-grade setups. One thing UK buyers should check: the field of view is fairly wide on the main sensor, so if you're mounting it in a corner, test the positioning first. The camera arrives with the battery already installed, a decent wall mount, and weatherproof cables for power if you go that route. Make sure your WiFi reaches the mounting spot—it does support 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which helps, but a weak signal will cause reconnection issues.

Key Features

Dual-lens system with 2560 × 1920 (2K) main sensor and 8MP telephoto lens for digital zoom without quality loss

IP67 weatherproofing rated for UK outdoor conditions including frost, rain, and sustained wind exposure

Built-in battery with 4-6 month runtime depending on motion detection frequency; USB-C charging

Local microSD card storage (up to 128GB supported) with 24-hour continuous recording or event-based recording modes

Our Verdict

Buy it if you want reliable long-term surveillance with solid zoom capabilities and zero monthly fees—especially if you're invested in HomeKit or value local storage. Skip it if you're after a simple, cheap camera or need professional-grade analytics like AI person-detection built in.

What We Like

  • The telephoto lens genuinely works—you can zoom in on details like faces or number plates without the mushy pixelation you get with digital zoom alone. Real useful if someone's skulking around your driveway.
  • No subscription nonsense. Your footage sits on a microSD card in the camera; you own it and can review it whenever you want without paying Eufy a monthly fee or trusting Amazon's servers.
  • Battery life is genuinely reliable in UK weather. You're not constantly recharging like you would with some other wireless models, especially if motion detection is moderate.
  • Dual-band WiFi connectivity means it plays nicely with modern routers and you've got flexibility if you need to optimize for range or speed. Night vision is crisp enough to identify people at distance.
  • HomeKit integration works smoothly for Apple users, and local processing means your video isn't shipped off to third-party servers—privacy-conscious setup without feeling clunky.

Things to Consider

  • The wide main lens is great for coverage but means you're seeing a lot of dead space if you're focused on one specific area. You'll be relying on the telephoto more than you might expect, which adds a step to reviewing footage.
  • Eufy's app is functional but clunky compared to some competitors—it's not terrible, but navigating multi-camera footage or settings feels like it's from a few years ago in terms of UX polish.
  • At this price point, you're paying a premium for the dual-lens setup. If you only need standard surveillance and don't care about zoom capability, a single-lens alternative would save you money.
